Re: Masterpiece Theater shows (PBS)

Call The Midwife was wonderful, but I do hate Chummy is leaving. I wonder why. She must have another acting job she wanted to take. I really hate it. She makes that show, IMO. I'll still watch, but count the episodes til she returns.

I'm always surprised at how harsh life was at that time. This show has a way of revealing that.

Does anyone know why Jenny did not want a relationship with that blonde guy from last season. She has known him for a long time, but turned him down when he wanted to love her. I didn't get it. Now she seems disappointed that he's gotten this new girl pregnant.

I believe she was filming her own show, Miranda, around the same time. I can't wait till she's back -hopefully not too many episodes.

Last season Jenny saw Jimmy as just a friend. This season she mentioned how he seemed different since she had seen him last, more grown-up. Maybe absence does make the heart grow fonder, as well. Plus last season she was still getting over that married guy on the telephone.

In regard to Chummy leaving and Jenny turning down the relationship with that guy -- seeing as the show is based on the 'real' Jenny's memoirs, maybe both of those events are actually what happened in Jenny's real life.

Did anyone watch Part 1 of The Bletchley Circle this past weekend? It's a miniseries about 4 women who worked for the Bletchley Circle during WWII as codebreakers. Four of them, frustrated with being relegated to their pre-war female status take on the hunt for a serial killer.

I found it very entertaining and am looking forward to watching the rest of it. Here's a link that tells more about it.
